In just two years’ time we have supported more than 830 children and youth impacted by child abuse from 74 communities across the province.

It takes courage for a child to share their story of abuse, it also takes courage from the community to listen, believe and seek justice.

With the help of our courageous community – with your help, we can and will continue to support every vulnerable child that needs us.

Each ticket sold in our lottery helps give the chance of a brighter and healthier future.” Mark Jones, CACAC CEO
